Inspired by a semi-autobiographical book by the mid-20th century German printmaker HAP Grieshaber, the author has used Grieshaber's idea to create a story of fifty years as a printmaker. He includes interviews with his printers and memories of his life around the prints he made at that time. “Inspired by a semi-autobiographical book by the mid-20th century German printmaker HAP Grieshaber, I have used his idea to create a story of fifty years as a printmaker. The book includes interviews with my printers and memories of my life around the prints I made at that time. I have made over a thousand prints so far and I am not done yet. There are “key” images illustrated, and the text attempts to marry the technical with my emotional feeling for the mediums, etching, lithography, woodcut and silkscreen. I have included recipes for variations on intaglio and some stories of my friendships with these gifted artisans who have produced this work.” Jim Dine
